In some cases an extra penny will seem to appear when calculating tax across multiple items on an order. This is due to the tax rate, for example, 8.25%, and the amount of items for which it is calculated across, for example, 3 cups of coffee, and the use of bankers rounding. (See below)
$4.99 x 3 = $14.97 4.99 x .0825 = .411675 .411675 x 3 = 1.235025 $14.97 + $1.24 = $16.21 |
